“ Ahgoo" in Taiwanese Chinese means "maternal uncle," referring to your mother's brother.  Origin: This term is commonly used in Taiwanese Hokkien, a Southern Chinese dialect widely spoken in Taiwan Ahgoo's. Kitchen in Temple City is on Las Tunas and unlike Glendora's fast food lined streets has a nice selection of small unique eateries. My sister's favorite is the "Beef Wrap" elaborately made with thinly sliced beef, rolled in a beautifully browned crust with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top with a slight taste of sweetness mixed with spices. Somehow the name Beef wrap just doesn't do it justice, it just seems like it should be named something like "Taiwanese sesame crusted beef wrap with cilantro & special sauce", or something like "Emperor's beef wrap" "Taiwanese Beef Rolls have deep-rooted historical ties, but their story extends beyond Taiwan's borders. While the exact origin remains somewhat unclear, one prevailing theory traces their roots to Shanghai, a bustling city in northeastern China" We had the Westlake beef soup, just a slight variation from the chinese version of the ingredients plus it had finely chopped ingredients , stir fried water spinach, so far this was my favorite and mixed with the , Taiwanese Fried Noodles so good. The Pickled Cabbage w bean sheet with edamame. First time to try this, it was very good. The Taiwanese noodles were very similar to Pancit Bihon one of my favorite Filipino dishes. Plus, I just mixed them with the fried water spinach for lunch, so delicious. We always order a variety from new restaurants to get a feel for what our favorites might be and it then they even taste better warmed up the next day. I included pictures: the bowl of soup it could serve a family. A note: We all love cilantro and almost all dishes come with a nice portion of cilantro. ”

“ Ahgoo's Kitchen is still worth coming to despite the drive and trying to catch them on days when they are open. Check their Yelp page and give them a call prior to visiting because they may be on vacation. I have been disappointed a few times by making over an hour drive for them to be closed, so make sure to double check! Food is always great here. I highly recommend the Signature Green Onion Sesame Pie ($17.95) and the Fish Filet with Bean Sauce ($17.95) to dip it in. They are the perfect combo. I only recently tried the Beef Wrap ($16.95), and it was really good. One of the best beef wrap I've had. Despite the high price, I think it's worth it because it is hefty and the beef they use is that Taiwanese red/braised beef that is often found in Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. I only do takeout from this place and everything reheats well at home. I use an air fryer for the sesame pie and beef wrap and they turn out well. The people who work here are friendly in person and over the phone. They mostly speak mandarin, but can understand English. If you don't want to order the wrong thing, make sure to have them repeat the order back to you or use Google translate. ”

“ When people talk about scallion pancake, this place has to be mentioned. They are well known for this special dish and other authentic Chinese food. Highly recommended. Medium size restaurant, clean and descent dining area. Very efficient service, friendly staffs. Be aware of being asked if you want to order the scallion pancake as soon as you walk in the door. If you are in the area, definitely give them a try. ”

“ We're the type of family that never leaves OC and so seeing restaurants like this on Sandra L's and other yelpers feed just made me immediately bookmark but also green with envy. It probably took us 3 or more years to take a day off for ourselves and travel up to SGV to try restaurants that has been in our que. The thick fluffy layers of green onion pie ($18) definitely caught our attention and was placed on our SGV food tour to-go list. We tried calling right when they opened, several times, but no one ever picked up. So we had to wait awhile after ordering to get our food, roughly 15 mins. The establishment looked like it's been around for awhile with a mom and pop feel. I can't say much to the service, friendly enough, since we ordered to-go. After 15 minutes, we greedily grabbed our bag of food, ran back to the car and had a taste. Damn that thick onion bread hit just all the right spots we knew there'd be a repeat trip just for the bread. Luckily, the SGV gods were on our side and about 2 months later we were able to come up here again and purchased 2 orders of the green onion pancake. I love reheating it in the microwave for instantaneous green onion/carb gratification. We've also tried the fish in bean sauce ($18) and basil eggplant ($16). Both were good but not on the same level as the green onion pancake. Overall, best green onion I've ever had and beat out my other favorite place for green onion pancake. ”

“ My parents have been coming here forever for their sesame green onion cakes. We typically pre-order and come pickup. They make it super fluffy with lots of green onions. The outside is crunchy crispy and the inside - warm fluffy and savory. Honestly I haven't found any other place that is better! ”

“ This was my first time trying this place. It has a decent sized dining area and we got seated right away. I haven't tried too many Taiwanese/Mandarin style restaurants, but this was a surprise. Their seaweed fish dish was amazing. And their beef wrap was outstanding. The meat was tender, the bread was soft but flaky. I tried a variety of dishes. From veggies to noodles, from green onion cake to the beef wrap and everything was delicious and flavorful. It's good to go with a group as this would be a family style restaurant. This place doesn't have a parking lot, so it's basically street parking only. I would come back to this place and try their other dishes. ”

“ The beef rolls here are AHHHMAZINGG. Like, so good that my aunt who stopped eating meat will still scrap off all the beef just to eat the roll part. It's crispy, and perfectly seasoned with the sauce. If it's your first time, def get the beef roll and the seaweed fish filet. They're both cooked so so well. Crispy but doesn't feel overly oily or heavy. The beef roll is stuffed with so so much meat. So good! I used to frequent 101 noodle express for their beef rolls but the beef rolls here at ahgoo's are in a league of their own! The cold combination plate was also really good but it def has a kick of spicy so it may not be for those who can't handle heat. The chef is from Taiwan but I think learned to cook Hong Kong style cuisine and is super nice! My uncle comes a lot and he drives down from Victorville just to eat here! If you're in the area or on the hunt for amazing beef rolls, definitely give this place a try! ”

“ Wonderful hole in the wall place for very authentic Chinese cuisine, it's definitely a mix of different regions. You will find dishes like mapo tofu and hot and sour soup which is made very fresh with spices and herbs. They have an onion pancake but it's made in a very thick style, most like onion bread. It's very delicious and picturesque. If you are daring they have other dishes like, such as intestine with tofu and blood cake, intestine with pig ears and tofu. Typical easy to eat dish would be the shredded tofu and the onion pancakes and the rice noodle dish. You'll probably leave here with leftovers :p They have street parking and a clean bathroom. ”
